I find it completely hilarious that no one challenged this comment about Italian men ;D

I don't feel qualified to speak on the subject since I never dated one. And I also feel Italian Americans may be different than Italians in Italy. I have one good friend who is half Italian and he is a sweetie but his other half is El Salvadorean so who knows which side won out? In Italy, I've been inappropriately touched by strangers in the street when I was younger (don't wear shorts in Rome, ladies!) and once made out with a handsome Italian guy in an Irish karaoke bar in Rome (in my 50's) but that's about the extent of my experience with Italian men. The ones in Italy sure are handsome though.
Yes, my best of Tom Petty CD got me through my ex's affair and our reconciliation at that time. I'd play that CD and psych myself up for him coming home from work. Breakdown and also You Got Lucky :
Good love is hard to find Good love is hard to find You got lucky, babe You got lucky, babe When I found you
I saw him in concert once, after my divorce, so maybe around 2018?
I'm not much of a singer but Breakdown was one that I had worked on with my voice teacher. It's nice and low so I can generally avoid the awkward break in my voice between chest and head voice. And it fit my sassy mood that night, which is probably why I ended up making out with the handsome Italian guy.
Got a call yesterday from the husband of a long time friend. A week ago she was fine, working out in the gym. Then she suddenly became jaundiced, has been in and out of the ER/hospital for several days, suspicious area on her pancreas, stent put into the pancreatic duct. May be pancreatic cancer but no positive biopsy yet. She’s about five years younger than me.
Yup. I’m praying it will turn out to be something inflammatory/ autoimmune instead, but cancer is definitely a concern at this point. And her husband, who is a few years older than me, isn’t really in great health, he has heart disease and has had surgery on his c-spine.
